In observational studies, propensity scores are commonly estimated by maximum likelihood but may fail to balance high-dimensional pretreatment covariates even after specification search. We introduce a general framework that unifies and generalizes several recent proposals to improve covariate balance when designing an observational study. Instead of the likelihood function, we propose to optimize special loss functions—covariate balancing scoring rules (CBSR)—to estimate the propensity score. A CBSR is uniquely determined by the link function in the GLM and the estimand (a weighted average treatment effect). We show CBSR does not lose asymptotic efficiency in estimating the weighted average treatment effect compared to the Bernoulli likelihood, but CBSR is much more robust in finite samples. Borrowing tools developed in statistical learning, we propose practical strategies to balance covariate functions in rich function classes. This is useful to estimate the maximum bias of the inverse probability weighting (IPW) estimators and construct honest confidence intervals in finite samples. Lastly, we provide several numerical examples to demonstrate the tradeoff of bias and variance in the IPW-type estimators and the tradeoff in balancing different function classes of the covariates.
小样本多协变量随机对照试验中的G计算
In contemporary randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the number of patients is often small relative to the number of baseline covariates collected. In such settings, maximum likelihood estimators of conditional treatment effects in generalized linear models, along with their standard errors, may exhibit substantial bias. This study examines whether similar bias arises in G-computation estimators of marginal treatment effects, which are known for their robustness to model…
广义线性模型中多层模型与固定效应方法的比较
We extend prior work comparing linear multilevel models (MLM) and fixed effect (FE) models to the generalized linear model (GLM) setting, where the coefficient on a treatment variable is of primary interest. This leads to three insights. (i) First, as in the linear setting, MLM can be thought of as a regularized form of FE (RegFE). This explains why group-level confounding can greatly bias MLM's treatment coefficient estimates. However, unlike the linear setting, there is…
靶向深度生存对比:神经网络下处理特定生存收益的有效推断
Neural survival models are increasingly asked to support counterfactual claims---how much a treatment would change survival in a population---rather than only prognostic risk scores. Answering such questions from observational data requires valid inference for treatment-specific survival contrasts under confounding and covariate-dependent censoring, targets for which standard deep survival estimators are biased and provide no honest uncertainty. We propose Targeted Deep…
竞争风险生存结局的亚组平均处理效应双重稳健目标估计
In recent years, precision treatment strategies have gained significant attention in medical research, particularly for patient care. We propose a novel framework for estimating subgroup average treatment effects (ATE) in time-to-event data with competing risks, using ICU patients with sepsis as an illustrative example. Our approach, based on cumulative incidence functions and targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE), achieves both asymptotic efficiency and double…
通向同一答案的三条路径:协调 AIPW、TMLE 与双重机器学习
Augmented inverse-probability weighting (AIPW), targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE), and double/debiased machine learning (DML) are three routes to the same efficient influence function for the average treatment effect --- settled theory we treat as background. This tutorial's contribution is its worked, shared-nuisance reconciliation on real data: what a practitioner must actually match for the routes, and the software packages, to agree. Working the effect of…
暴露或结局罕见时哪种正则化倾向得分与双稳健方法校准最佳?基于代理混杂调整的plasmode研究
Purpose. Confounding adjustment in health-care database studies screens large proxy libraries where events per variable are low, straining standard propensity score (PS) methods, and many regularized variable-selection strategies exist (outcome-adaptive LASSO [OAL], group LASSO/GLiDeR, highly adaptive LASSO [HAL]). Yet few comparisons have varied exposure prevalence within such a selection menu, and none pairs it with doubly robust estimation, compute accounting, and a…
